n Your Role: Safely Using the OmniPod System

Pump therapy requires substantial caregiver involvement,

especially among children. Work with your healthcare provider

to establish diabetes management guidelines and settings that

best fit your, or your child’s, needs. These may include:

Insulin-to-Carbohydrate (IC) Ratio: Number of grams of car-

bohydrate covered by one unit of insulin. For example, if your

insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio is 1:15, then you need to deliver

one unit of insulin to cover every fifteen grams of carbohydrate

you eat.

Correction or Sensitivity Factor: How much one unit of insulin

will lower blood glucose. For example, if your sensitivity factor is

50, one unit of insulin will lower your blood glucose by 50 mg/

dL.

Target Blood Glucose Value: The blood glucose level you want

to achieve. For example, you may want to keep your blood glu-

cose close to 100 mg/dL.

Duration of Insulin Action: The length of time that insulin

remains active and available in your body after a correction or

meal bolus.

Introduction

xii

Your individual needs influence the initial settings you and your

healthcare provider will enter into the Personal Diabetes Man-

ager (PDM) during setup (see Chapter 2, Getting Started).

Your healthcare provider must help you enter these initial set-

tings. Soon you will enter and change your own settings with

confidence and ease. The OmniPod System is more user-friendly

than most electronic devices you use every day. In fact, technol-

ogy is what makes the OmniPod System so easy to use.

Your healthcare provider is a valuable resource. You will rely on

him or her for a lot of critical information about your OmniPod

System, especially during the first few weeks and months. When

you have questions about diabetes management after starting

on the OmniPod System, do not hesitate to talk with your health-

care provider. For nonmedical emergencies or for technical

questions about your OmniPod System setup or operation, you

can call Customer Care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Customer Care (24 hours/7 days): 800-591-3455

When calling from outside the United States: 781-457-5098

Your healthcare provider will give you all the tools and training

you need to be successful with the OmniPod Insulin Manage-

ment System. However, in the end, your success depends on

YOU. You must become actively involved in your own diabetes

management to enjoy the outstanding control, freedom, and

flexibility that is possible with the OmniPod System.

Being actively involved means:

• Frequently monitoring blood glucose levels

• Learning how to operate your OmniPod System and practic-

ing proper techniques

• Visiting your healthcare provider

Do NOT attempt to use the OmniPod® Insulin Man-

agement System before you receive training from

your healthcare provider. Inadequate training could

put your health and safety at risk

CHAPTER 1

Your New OmniPod Insulin Management System

n Insulin Delivery with the OmniPod System

The OmniPod® Insulin Management System is an innovative

continuous insulin delivery system that provides all the proven

benefits of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy

in a way no conventional insulin pump can. The System’s innova-

tive design and features allows you to live your life—and

manage your diabetes—with unprecedented freedom, comfort,

convenience, and ease.

The long-term health benefits of better blood glucose control

are well known. Maintaining near-normal blood glucose levels

can help you live a longer, healthier life with fewer diabetes-

related complications. The OmniPod System also has many prac-

tical, everyday benefits, including convenience, freedom,

flexibility, and ease of use.

Continuous insulin delivery most closely mimics the insulin

release of a healthy pancreas. Since the landmark 10-year

Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), the long-

term health benefits of maintaining near-normal blood

glucose levels have been widely recognized.

Continuous insulin delivery at preset rates eliminates the need

for injections and the interruptions that come with them. In addi-

tion, with the OmniPod System, insulin delivery can be changed

with the press of a button to adapt to snacks or unexpected

changes in daily routine. The OmniPod System is a great option

for people with diabetes who require insulin.

The OmniPod System works much like the pancreas of a person

without diabetes by delivering insulin in two ways:

• A small, constant, background supply of insulin (called a basal

rate) is delivered automatically at a programmed rate, all day

and night.

• An extra dose of insulin (called a bolus) can be delivered

when you need it to match the carbohydrates in a meal or

snack or to correct a high blood glucose.

Your New OmniPod Insulin Management System

n How Does the OmniPod System Work?

The Pod is a small, lightweight, self-adhesive device that you fill

with insulin and wear directly on your body. The Pod delivers

precise, personalized doses of insulin into your body through a

small flexible tube (called a cannula), based on instructions that

you program into its wireless companion, the Personal Diabetes

Manager. The cannula is inserted only once with each Pod.

The Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) is a wireless, handheld

device that:

• Programs the Pod with your personalized insulin-delivery

instructions

• Wirelessly monitors the Pod’s operation

• Includes a FreeStyle® blood glucose meter

With just two parts, you’ll enjoy all the functionality and benefits

of continuous insulin delivery and blood glucose monitoring.

Plus you’ll enjoy the safety, convenience, and freedom of:

No tubing

There is no tubing connecting the Pod to the PDM. You wear the

Pod comfortably and discreetly under your clothes. You can carry

the PDM separately in a backpack, briefcase, or purse. With the

OmniPod Insulin Management System, you don’t have to worry

about snagging, tangling, or feeling tethered by tubing.

Suggested bolus calculation

Calculating bolus doses has never been easier. After you check

your blood glucose, enter the carbs for your snack or meal. Based

on your individual settings, the System displays a suggested

bolus dose. You can accept the suggestion, change it, or cancel it.

Reference food library and carb presets

To make carbohydrate counting easier, the OmniPod System

includes a reference food library. You can look up the carbs and

other values for many standard food items. Foods are organized

alphabetically and by category.

Your New OmniPod Insulin Management System

You can also enter your own favorite foods, snacks, or entire

meals as “carb presets.” Presets contain the grams of carbohy-

drate in the food item or meal. Next time you eat this same food,

you don’t have to count the carbs; just select your carb preset

and the System does the calculating for you. The System stores

up to 36 carb presets.

Automated cannula insertion

With the OmniPod System, you don’t have to insert the infusion

set manually or carry around a separate inserter. You simply press

a button on the PDM and the Pod’s automated insertion system

safely and consistently inserts the cannula beneath the skin, vir-

tually pain free. It then begins delivering insulin according to

your programmed basal rate.

A fully-integrated design with blood glucose monitoring

With a fully integrated two-part design, there’s no need to carry

separate infusion sets, reservoirs, or inserters. It’s all integrated

into the Pod. With the PDM, you can check your blood glucose

level using FreeStyle® blood glucose test strips, but without the

hassle of carrying a separate blood glucose meter.

If you prefer to use another blood glucose meter, you can enter

the readings manually into the PDM.

Record keeping

Another convenient part of the OmniPod System is record keep-

ing. Paper charts are useful, but sometimes they can be

inconvenient to carry or use. The data storage system in the

Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) displays up to 90 days’ worth

of information. This includes blood glucose readings, basal rates

and bolus doses, carbohydrates, and alarms.

Personalizing your System

You can personalize your OmniPod System in other ways, too:

• Enter and name basal programs

• Name and save temporary basal presets

• Add your own customized reminders

• Enter your name, phone number, doctor’s name and

number, and other emergency information
